Thin Out Seedlings

What happens here

Carefully select the weakest or most crooked seedling in a peat puck that contains multiple plants. Using your small scissors, snip the stem of the unwanted seedling as close to the soil line as possible. Be extremely cautious not to damage the roots or stem of the healthy plant you intend to keep. Avoid pulling out the unwanted seedling, as this can disturb the roots of the keeper plant.

Goal: Remove excess seedlings to allow the strongest to thrive
